- Load rating: EVs are heavy, and Tesla specifies Extra Load (XL) tires. Replace with the same load range or higher.
- Noise: Tire Rack says original-equipment Tesla tires have acoustic foam that reduces road noise. The foam is not required as long as the load and speed ratings are met.
- Rotation: Tesla recommends rotating every 6,250 miles, or sooner if tread depth differs by 2/32 in or more.
